Today’s BJJ technique focused video is for my student Evan who’s got a great butterfly guard game. And so many of the people in the gym are forcing him to play different positions like half guard. From there it makes it hard for him to get to butterfly guard and he says he’s been getting hit with ankle locks and leg locks.

So in today’s video I’m going to show you some details that I wanted to show him about how he could possibly deal with this.

As a butterfly guard player myself i have the same problem and this has been 1 of the best ways to counter the issue. It hinges on a simple half guard sweep which I’ve shown on the channel that you can then use as an off balancing technique.

To see the original sweep go here: https://youtu.be/KxkcHaLAxTU

Hope the technique helps.

This is a must-know transition, especially if you do No-Gi.

Since you don’t have the luxury of collar and sleeve controls in No-Gi, your Spider Guard, De La Riva, and Lasso Guard are not that effective… instead, Half-Guard and Butterfly Guard are usually the go to guards in No-Gi.

Transitioning between those two guards is a must.

Watch the video above to learn how it’s done, and also how to execute one of the most fundamental sweeps in Jiu Jitsu, the Butterfly Hook Sweep.
